Decline

They waitin' for that decline

pray that I lose my mind

They never want me to shine

but I observe that

trouble I will serve that

Ear to the streets

never will I give the curve back

still movin' at a velocity

still sensing the animosity

hate mail is what they send me

but I separate letters like an apostrophe

colossally, didn't come the same must of had two angles

he was isosceles

but now I'm Socrates

with philosophies

I'm in my tree house please don't bother me

and now it's lookin' like hella-smoke

under aid they lettin' me pass the velvet rope

and it's like getting reckless

feeling like a lone star Texas

(Chorus)

Uh-huh I know what's on your mind

you don't think were gonna shine

I face you to prove you wrong

Thought I was week I tell you I am getting strong

this time its gonna be different than the last time

I swear I'm gonna turn from a hobby and a pastime

tomorrow gonna be better than today (yeah)

this will wash the pain away

Could you cheer for me when you see me?

had to follow my dreams and they cannot believe me

but, see I need it for the cake I go

like Tunday for the TV and the radio

retro 80 flow

hood make it crazy though

puttin' work with music made me lazy though

why cause I couldn't write enough rhymes

they say hip-hop is dead we bring the vital signs

never trippin'

I'm on a different grind

bring slaughter to your houses

young Nickonine

see now tell whatcha get me wrong

if I told you in the studio I met Solange

if I said I command it like its the Pentagon

hatin' on even on the roof I'm upper echelon

but still forever we shine

turn negative to positive I never decline

(Chorus)

Uh-huh I know what's on your mind

you don't think were gonna shine

I face you to prove you wrong

Thought I was week I tell you I am getting strong

this time its gonna be different than the last time

I swear I'm gonna turn from a hobby and a pastime

tomorrow gonna be better than today

this will wash the pain away

Uh-huh
